Portuguese EggTarts

My children were home early from school today and so I decided to bake something sweet for their teatime snacks.
I used ready made puff pastry and baked these portuguese style egg tarts. The caramelized custard makes a delightful difference from the chinese dim sum-style egg tarts.
These tarts were great when eaten freshly baked from the oven and with a cup of tea with milk.

Savoury Cheese Biscuits with herbs

My friend gave me some Parmigiano- Reggiano and so I decided to make some cheese biscuits with them.
These cheese biscuits were spicy(with added paprika) and shaped free-form. I topped the biscuits with different herbs; like dried rosemary, thyme, basil and even black pepper.

These biscuits came free-form but I gave a twist to these savoury treats. I baked them in the muffin cups.

My Baking Journey

Le Petit Four-Welcome to my blog. I am keen on baking my own pastries as I find those in the bakeries and supermarkets unhealthy and laden with transfats. My teenage son is always hungry (aren't they all) and I am unable to find any suitably healthy snacks; thus venturing into this delightful task of baking.
